THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS - Chapter 4 - Verse 23

Verse 23. Now it was not written. The record of this extraordinary faith was not made on his account only; but it was made to show the way in which men may be regarded and treated as righteous by God. If Abraham was so regarded and treated, then, on the same principle, all others may be. God has but one mode of justifying men.

Imputed. Reckoned; accounted. He was regarded and treated as the friend of God.

{z} "Now it was not written" Ro 15:4; 1 Co 10:11
